Hi there,
is anyone using a working sync solution between PalmOS devices and KDE 4
(Kontact)?
The more I try with KPilot (F12) the more I become convinced that KPilot
stopped working with Akonadi a while ago. (I had this working on F11 or so.)
I'd be content with one-way sync pilot -> KDE for datebook and
addressbook. Can gnome-pilot share resources with KDE's Kontact? Even
translating pilot-xfer's pdbs into vcs/ical/... would be good enough,
just getting stuff out of the palm in an open format, ready for
consumption by KDE's PIM.

Hi Michael,
What exactly are the issues?
I have kpilot working just fine with Kontact and akonadi. I'd love to see you
get this working as I'm playing with the idea of taking over maintenance of
kpilot.
A few other questions... Kontact version, kpilot version, device, would be
nice :) Also, does the device appear to sync, or does it simply not work
anymore? I've had issues with udev not naming the devices I have been testing
with /dev/pilot or even spawning any device file afaict. I've had to user the
device name "usb:" to sync it.

Hi Michael,
What exactly are the issues?
I have kpilot working just fine with Kontact and akonadi. I'd love to see you
get this working as I'm playing with the idea of taking over maintenance of
kpilot.
I'm glad to see there's a possible future for Kpilot! Are you on F12
with KDE from fedora-updates, or more recent Fedora/KDE?
A few other questions... Kontact version, kpilot version, device, would be
nice :) Also, does the device appear to sync, or does it simply not work
anymore? I've had issues with udev not naming the devices I have been testing
with /dev/pilot or even spawning any device file afaict. I've had to user the
device name "usb:" to sync it.
I can sync the device itself (Palm T3), and I used to be able to sync
the palm calendar to a akonadi resource, but that was last fall (Fedora
11 I think).
Kontact and kpilot are from current F12, that is kdepim-4.3.5-1.fc12.x86_64
nepomukserver (kdebase-runtime-4.3.5-2.fc12.x86_64) is running, and I
start akonadiserver using akonadictl (akonadi-1.2.1-2.fc12.x86_64) from
the command line, then kpilot from the command line.
I recreated the mysqldbs which solved a db issue.
In Kpilot's settings for the calendar, an akonadi error is reported,
more specifically the problem that no resource agents are found.
Consequently, a sync does not sync the calendar data at all. (This used
to work.)
This is a plain F12 KDE install (fresh install with current updates, not
an F11 upgrade), no tinkering with KDE or DG paths or such. I would
think that kdepims pulls in all necessary dependencies for akonadi to
work, and I didn't find any packages which seem to contain resource
agents. Any help would be appreciated, of course.

resource agents are (generally) in kdepim-runtime

Thanks, that got me quite a bit further. (Shouldn't kdepim-runtime be a
dependency of kdepim?)
I was able to set up a proper akonadi resource now (the previous looked
like it ["calendar in local file" resource], but wasn't, it seems).
Syncing with my palm gives me only a very small number of events (very
old ones), though the sync process (kpilot) appears successful.
I tried hooking up the akonadi resource to my old ical file, that
resulted in somewhat newer events showing up, but I also get a process
"akonadi_ical_re" occupying 100% cpu time constantly...
Maybe it'll be better after a reboot (restarting akonadi makes no
difference), I'll keep reporting...
Cheers,
Michael

It is in 4.4 , and should be moving forward for any app/package expected
to make use of akonadi.
(in 4.3.x, nothing in kdepim uses akonadi by default, so we didn't make
it a hard dependency).

Just a quick update as promised: I couldn't resist going for 4.4.0 from
kde-unstable... All dependencies got resolved appropriately.
Akonadi/kpilot-wise things seems to be much smoother now.
I noticed that rebuilding the akonadi calendar source from the kpilot
data took very long (that was the cpu hog I noticed), but once finished,
that looked okay. Yay.

Hi,
Yay indeed :-)

That's strange as KPilot hasn't changed at all (it's unmaintained upstream,
what we're shipping now is from 4.3.x where basically nothing has changed
since 4.3 was branched, 4.4 no longer includes it), maybe the new Akonadi is
helping.
